GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

The school is good but not the best. All 3 programs are very good there. It is a very diverse school bt still has a lot of leadership opportunites for young students like me. Thet use the 7 habits and they are effective at our school. The school still has to work on its behavorial issues but overall the school is good.
